What happened. Lazio are continuing to assess the free-agent market after the summer window shut, with Mauro Icardi and Yves Bissouma among the names under consideration. The club still has two open slots in its Serie A squad list after Patric and Luca Pellegrini were omitted.
- President Claudio Lotito is intrigued by signing Icardi, who is unattached after leaving Galatasaray.
- Gattuso prefers a more mobile striker and sees Icardi as a low-priority option.
- Bissouma is a target to cover recent midfield injuries, but Lazio are in no rush.
Lazio will take their time deciding whether to activate either option despite having open squad spots.
